What color is Benjamin Moore Man on the Moon?
Benjamin Moore Man on the Moon OC-106 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading too sugary or bright. Its light value gives walls an airy look, while the warm undertone adds gentle color to white-heavy rooms. In direct daylight, Man on the Moon can appear like a delicate buttercream; under warmer bulbs, its beige-cream side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms where a subtle alternative to off-white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and muted greens or dusty blues for contrast.

LRV of Man on the Moon
Man on the Moon has an LRV of 80.76% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 80.76%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
